Hi all!

I've been working in the yard as weather permits! 54 Brugs planted so far!! And more to go out as time permits!

And 'Tehya' has kept me VERY busy! lol! She's growing like a weed! Three weeks ago at the vet (second series of shots) she weighed in a 17.6 pounds. Her second visit (last Friday - third set of shots) she weighed in at 28.2 pounds! I'll try to get updated pics this coming weekend!

Anyway - here's the new addition to the garden! :) I'm in LOVE!! lol! I only waited 4 years to get one! Tom at Glasshouse Works sent a nice specimen to get me started! :) And now if I can keep her GROWING!!

Introducing 'Datura Inoxa Variegata - Missouri Marble!'

Mike

    Congratulations Mike! On both Babies! :)
    Oh my gosh.....54 Brugs planted in the ground? Wow!!!
    I have 13 in the ground so far and thought I was doing some
    thing! LOL But I did have to dig out the clay soil and haul
    in some better soil for the site which was time consuming.
    Congrats again and would love to see more pics!

    Mike,
    I am so glad you finally received your much awaited for datura! Love the variegation! It looks like it is a single white flower??? Please keep us updated on its growth with lots of pictures.
    Are the brugs you planted outside in sunken pots or in the dirt? That is a LOT of brugs to get planted! I am glad Tehya is doing well!!! I wonder if we will recognize her since she is growing so fast? Looking forward to the pics of her! Keep up the good work & it is always great hearing from you!
